| Obverse description | Irregular hammered copper flan bearing the Arabic mint inscription in the field. The legend 'ضرب قسطنطينية' (Struck at Constantinople) is arranged centrally within the coin's field in a typical Ottoman tughra-influenced calligraphic style. The surfaces display characteristic die-struck relief with uneven flan edges consistent with hand-hammered production. Significant patination and surface corrosion are present, consistent with extended burial or circulation. No figural devices appear; the composition is entirely epigraphic. |
